Nash (all too unwell)'s Reviews > The Silvered Serpents

“When the devil waged war in the heavens, even angels had to fall.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars!!

Buddy Read with Bhavya💖

This book was painful. And beautiful.
Especially painful.

I was really scared that this book would be disappointing. Especially bcz most of the sequels are so. But this was even better than the previous one. Immense character development, a solid book, heartbreaking plot twists
PERFECTION😭💖

~i am now going to try to stop crying a write a review~


Plot

"They are each other's fiercest love, greatest danger, and only hope."

Silvered serpents picks off after the ending of Gilded Wolves. Now scarred by the previous events, the group is determined to get their revenge. And finally, reach their goal
But they know nothing is the same anymore. One last job. And then they'll be free to grieve on their own.

Driven by their own motives and greed and want, their search leads them to the Sleeping palace to find the Divine Lyrics which can grant them their wishes.
For Severin, it is to become god
For Laila, to finally lead her life without fear
For Zofia, it is to save her family
For Enriqueit is to achieve his goal
And for Hypnos, it is to finally belong.

History is full of ghosts because it’s full of myth. All of it woven together depending on who survived to do the telling.

But things are not simple. Old wounds reopen, new enemies are determined to stop them. They knew the cost would be high. But will the cost be their own lives and sanity?



The Plot of this book was stunning. While TGW was a tad boring in some places, TSS pulled me in from the start. I had to think for a while before i rated TGW 5 stars. But even before i was done 50% i knew it was a 5 star.
The character development, the writing = perfection


Writing

“Then again, the names we are born with can end up meaning so little. The names we give ourselves, well, perhaps that’s the truth of us.”

One word. Beautiful

I loved loved the writing in this book. It was magical and painful and relatable at the same time I haven't read anything by her before, but I'm sure this is definitely one of her best works.
The cute banter between the characters, the painful ending everything was crafted perfectly

“I’ll perish left to my own devices. Life is cruel, and often without cake.”

Cake. I love cake.





World

I lovee the world-building! It was awesomeee
Sure, I was confused af for the first part, but when I understood what was going on, I loved it even more. The concept of forging, divine lyrics.
We stan

ALSO, HOW DARE YOU
That shocking plot twists regarding the world and all that, I'm shooketh
I'm also in love




Characters

Missing : Nashita's heart
If found please return to : Anyone of the below listed characters

Severin

“Séverin Montagnet-Alarie knew there was only one difference between monsters and gods. Both inspired fear. Only one inspired worship.”

Séverin is a person you should be scared of. He will do anything to get what he wants. But inside the armour and trauma, he is just a boy who is depressed bcz of his brother's death.
Sure, im kinda angry at him for being extremely rude through the book, I kinda understand where its coming from. And the ending, I feel really bad for Severin. Because I know or rather I read how much it hurt him to do so.
I can't wait to see more of him in the next one 😭

Laila

"She was made of stolen bones and sleek fur, grave dirt and strange blood—her heart wasn’t even hers to give. Her soul was all she had, and no love was worth losing it"

I love love love Laila. She is perfection. She is clever, smart, brave and determined. She knows there is no one who will save her and she knows that she had to save herself. Living her entire life in fear, she finally wants to be free to do what she wants.
She is the kind of person you wish was real. She is such a good friend and a very loyal person.
I love her💖🤧


Zofia

“She didn’t shiver as she walked. If anything, she seemed to luxuriate in the cold, as if it ran through her blood.”

Zofia is a chemist. She is also a precious cinnamon roll.
Zofia is very clever. And socially awkward. In here, we see her making an effort to socialize more and be more friendly. What we get is her being adorable.
She is determined to do anything for the ones she loves. We also see her fighting for Laila throughout.
I loved her character😭💖

Enrique

“I’ll perish left to my own devices. Life is cruel, and often without cake.”

Enrique is a historian. He is the kinda person you might fall asleep while listening to. But if you don't, you might just become clever.
He like the others is very brave, clever and lovable. while the others have a bad side, he doesn't. I love him! HE is also very relatable
I liked this relationship with Hypnos. But I ship him and Zofia. Butt ahh whatever makes him happy, will make me tooooo ahh 💖💖

Hypnos

“I envy you, too, for enjoying such trust. For being so”—he circled his glass, frowning—“wanted.”

Hypnos. I literally have no words to describe how much I love him. Not only is he cute and adorable, he is kind and brave and clever. Being alone almost all his life, he is desperately trying to fit in with them. I felt very bad for especially bcz of Severin :|
I want lots of chps from his perspective! 💖💖

He always reminded me of this:



One other thing i loved about this book was the rep!

*Biracial half french half algerian character


I can't wait for the next book.
